The Yankees optioned Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
The Yankees sent Escarra down to the minors earlier this month but were forced to bring him back a day later once Austin Wells (head) landed on the IL. Now that Wells is set to return to the active roster Sunday, Escarra will move back to Triple-A after posting a .493 OPS in 91 plate appearances with the Pinstripes. Ali Sanchez will remain as the backup catcher in the Bronx.
